Before Nuru won Germany's Next Topmodel, she had already been given the opportunity to gain experience as a model for friendly designers after she was approached by a photographer when she was 15 years old. She appeared in a fashion show held in Dresden which also featured cycle 3's winner Jennifer Hof.[citation needed]

In 2009, Nuru started a modeling career. She walked in shows in

Custo Barcelona and Roberto Cavalli.[citation needed
]

In September 2022 she joined the criticism of Germany's Next Topmodel as she said: "I was not aware of how blatantly young women were treated there. It was as if I had blinders on, a lot is me I wasn't aware of it even as a participant. I'm still horrified by how young women are treated."[7] She added: "With the knowledge I have today, I would not take part in Germany's Next Topmodel again."[8]

Philanthropy

Since 2012, Nuru has been an ambassador for Karlheinz Böhm's charity Menschen für Menschen, with a focus on Ethiopia.[9] In 2018, Germany's Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Gerd Müller appointed her as Special Ambassador for Sustainable Consumption and Production.[10] She also works with advocacy and campaigning organization ONE.[11]
